The building manager was able to keep the fire from spreading beyond one booth before the fire department arrived.

The fire department was dispatched and was able to extinguish the remaining fire within five minutes upon arriving.

No one was injured, but the fire destroyed a booth at the flea market.

The flea market closed the indoor booths due to a large amount of smoke and dry powder residue from fire extinguishers throughout the building and will remain closed until the Health Department responds to the scene on Monday.

The outdoor booths were opened as usual for business on Sunday.

Investigators estimated damages to be at $5,000.

Fire companies were on the scene for approximately two and a half hours evacuated smoke from the large building. There were 31 firefighters that responded to the fire.

The cause of the fire was determined to be shorted electrical equipment.
